  • ICE says U.S. citizen’s birth certificate is fake after arresting her: attorneys

  • So it's all about emotional release, at least you're honest.

    Do you agree that this type of rhetoric is divisive; fracturing the Dem party; and ultimately helping Trump and MAGA?

  • Well I'm honestly curious what your intention is when you "inform" these non voters of their mistake.

    Is it all about emotional release? Or do you honestly believe that you can shame these voters into voting correctly next time?

    Why is your focus on this tiny subset of voters, and not focused on Trump voters?

    From my standpoint, you're just doing more damage to the already fractured Democratic Party base. Damaging the Democratic Party is helping Trump win a third term.

  • Your TNR article correctly asserts that Dems lost because they failed to motivate their base. It is explaining how the Democratic Party's policies on the economy and immigration had a strong negative effect on voter turnout.

    It says nothing about protest voters, and only a passing mention of Gaza. I was under the impression that "protest non voters" referred explicitly to those voters who concerned themselves with the genocide in Palestine.

    If you expand the scope of "protest non voters" to include those who didn't vote due to the economy or immigration policy, then I agree with you completely.

  • Yea and I'm informing Chester A Arthur voters about what they voted for lol

    The difference is that Arthur voters have more blame on their shoulders, because they actually changed the outcome of an election, unlike "protest non-voters".

  • Blaming voters is such a weak stance, its always just comes down to personal grievances. Your vote blaming logic could be applied to anyone.

    This is what you voted for, Barack Obama voters! His tepid implementation of DACA left this poor girl with very few legal protections!

    This is what you voted for, Joe Biden voters! Biden could have defunded ICE, instead he gave them billions!

    This is what you voted for, Chester A Arthur voters! Your implementation of the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 was inevitably going to lead to this!

  • It's not just memes, Luigi's heroic actions saved hundreds or maybe even thousands of lives.

    UHC lowered their horrific claims denial rate by a percent or two this past year, angering investors. UHC explicitly blamed Luigi and the backlash.

    When you do the math, you find Luigi is responsible for literally millions of claims being approved that would have otherwise been denied.

  • Yeah that era of comedians and pundits had a thing about "frivolous lawsuits". It's a conservative talking point, similar to how modern comedians whinge about cancel culture and trans rights.

    I think they were dead wrong, lawsuits protect us all from corporate malfeasance. The grandma that had her genitals melted off by McDonald's boiling hot coffee deserved even more money, and none of public ridicule.

    That being said, it's still a great bit.

  • The examples I cited are being degraded and hollowed out before our eyes. That should give us even more reason to attempt to safeguard them.

    Maybe I'm naive for being a bit hopeful, but I'm no Fukuyama. I understand that the system is crumbling, and that the core of the system is irredeemable.

    None of that changes the fact that regulations like the Clean Air Act are a good thing. Yes, it should have done more to regulate coal emissions. Yes, it was unilaterally dismantled by Trump. It is still a good thing; nihilism on this subject is counter productive; and that is really my entire thesis here.

  • Regulations are just a tool and all tools can be misused. I'm definitely not here to suggest regulations are perfect or that they can solve all of our problems.

    It feels like an insult to myself and the audience to assume that we aren't all aware of regulatory capture.

  • Signs of cynicism are great; the reasons for cynicism are obvious. But there is a big gap between healthy cynicism and the blackpilled doomerism that you are displaying.

    Regulations give us the weekend and overtime pay. Regulations control how much rat shit is allowed in your food. Regulations make it so your workplace isn't a deathtrap. Those are all meaningful checks on capital.

    Labor leaders fought in the streets, killed cops, and died for regulations.

  • Why such cynicism? Regulators have historically been one of the few meaningful checks on capital.

  • If you're ever lucky enough to get selected for jury duty on an "assault on a federal officer" case, then I believe it is your civic duty to acquit, no matter the evidence.

    Google "jury nullification".

  • So is her role to be a regulator, preventing LLMs from degrading city services?

    Or is her role to be a backdoor around regulations so that AI slop companies can invade, degrade, and turn a quick profit?

  • Does anyone think that a bunch of Computer Science/Software Engineering graduates unable to find jobs could result in increased cybercrime?

    Jump

  • As an unemployed CS grad, I think most of us understand the risks of cybercrime. Developing an illegal platform that generates enough income to live off of, while avoiding the authorities and living in a first world nation, is something very few people can pull off.

    What I see in my unemployed peers is a proclivity to simply give up. For many this means rotting in their parents basement, for many others it means suicide. The ones who continue to struggle through dead-end jobs openly display violent fantasies, sexual depravity, support for fascism, and other deeply concerning antisocial behavior.

  • When the meme is in a digital format, then yes you can cut and paste.

    Memes live in many formats though. Everything you have ever said is a meme in an audio format. Every thought you've ever had is a meme in the "thought" format. I'm not sure how you might crispr those.

  • Any self-respecting "meme historian" would refer to themselves as a memeologist.

    They would know the history of the word "meme" and that it is explicitly intended to be analogous with the word "gene".

    We don't call them gene historians, we call them genealogists.

  • There are many different accepted methodologies for measuring unemployment. For some reason the media only focuses on the U-3 value, and I agree that is highly misleading.

    It sounds like the relevant statistic you are looking for is the U-6 value. U-6 is currently measured at a relative high of 8.7%. That is 30 million Americans who are unemployed or underemployed.

    You can find all the data at the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Alternative measures of labor underutilization
